You get this, right? When you press any of these 3 buttons, they tell you that your browser (any modern browser) doesn’t support using these buttons, just go ahead and press [cntrl]+ V or [cmd]+V.

Back to the list…

Using Longsight’s clever text report tool and mining the report to discover just how many people I’m going to piss off if I take webdav away from them. Would it be a huge learning curve to zip up a group of files, upload to the file repository and let Sakai unzip them? sigh… I’ve hated webdav as a protocol for 15 years now, through 3 LMSs and how ever many desktop operating systems that’s been.

Oh right, my performance review self-evaluation is due.

And I have got to get our faculty MapleTA champion (now Möbius Assessment, of course) out of his role as go-to support person. Sooo hard. He’s a Math genius, for that, I will always call upon him. But how to use the software? I think I can help, but how?

Gradebook, the central element of any LMS. And something everyone wants something different out of. Professor Sinatra, yes, you can do it your way. There’s this Sakai widgetey thing that allows you to use a local spreadsheet configured any way you want it and then you upload it for students. As long as each row begins with the student’s user name, that row displays only to that logged in student. But really… do we need this option? Who wants to support this? I don’t. But maybe we should?

Advanced coolness. You don’t know what you don’t know. I’ve got some advanced coolnness HTML / CSS I’m working on which isn’t going to entice a lot of course designers unless / until I can ensure they can be copied term to term to term and site to site to site ad … delectum.

Okay… I’m off to QA the copying term to term to term for advanced coolness because, well, if I tell you my criteria is Biggest bang for the buck will you believe me?
